  It was just perfect. The team was on top!!! We stopped at Gabriel Island. We could see beautiful fish very colorful and funny shape. We ate on the catamaran. Very good food! Then before we got back to the port, Yannick gave us some good music and choreography. We had a good time.

  Due to the wind conditions, it was not possible to travel to the advertised islands. However, this was only communicated after departure, so that one had no opportunity to decide against the tour. We spent most of the tour at anchor in a bay to which I would have walked in 5 minutes from my accommodation. But the tour is significantly overpriced.

  A very nice day and highly recommended. We were with only 9 people on our catamaran a very small group - absolutely pleasant, it found everyone on the boat a great place. We got delicious lunch and plenty of drinks. From wine to beer, soft drinks and Coke Rum - very good! Our 2 skippers were great guys, very accommodating and the snorkeling equipment, as well as the entire boat was also in good condition and very clean. It was a lot of fun.

  The place is beautiful, heavenly... But the welcome of the crew was very disappointing... We went to sea when there were holes of more than 2 meters. I felt really in danger. Some customers vomited throughout the crossing. We expected a festive excursion except that we were simply there because we had booked! The crew had fun between them and no consideration for their guests (except at the end of the excursion when they took out a box for tip!! No customer left them, it's not for nothing!!!). The meal was served without us knowing what we had on our plate and we ate cold. Too bad because for the price I paid I really expected something else!

  Tour to the north islands with DOWN CATAMARAN from Grand Baye. Too many people on board, not enough shade, many feel sick from the sun, the icy drinks, the disgusting lunch. . rude and unhelpful crew. whatever you ask, they rudely answer no. can we have anti-vomit pills? no. lemon? no. can you pick us up 10 minutes in advance feom the island? No.please drop us directly to the village, we need a doctor. No. Best wishes

• Beautiful excursion

• Lovely boat ride - spoiled by lack of communication and poor timing

  Things were just not great from the start: Website said meet at 930am, email says 945am, second email is again 930am - we rushed and got there to be treated at 10am. We walked over to the small glass bottom boat to move to the day boat. Nice enough and staff were friendly. Offered drinks however no sugar free options unless alcoholic. (wine and beer) or water. First island drop off - I was apprehensive about getting off as there was very little shade at it was already 11.30am - three boat loads of people and told not to snorkel as too rough - well what was one to do - no swimming off the boat, too dangerous. I was the only one that stayed on the boat but by 1pm and a little starving I asked to be dropped for a swim for 10 minutes to which they agreed. They dropped me off and then didn't collect me for over 30 minutes - no sunscreen, hat or long shirt. No water! Nothing.... Turned out my daughter and her hubby were dropped off with the others and told to meet back at 1pm and were waiting until 130pm. Lucky they had water and snacks with them. Returning to boat lunch was not served until after 2pm. We made our way to the second island for snorkelling and on arrival told we had 20 minutes only. It took them 10 minutes to find fins! - The ride back was pleasant but overall the day was spoiled by a lack of communication - we also ran out of drinks on the way back (they sent some beer over to another boat despite us having a group of young men who were rather thirsty) - Food was good and plentiful - hence the 3 stars - Staff were present but not professional and not communication I feel that the delay in lunch and leaving was planned to coordinate with the other boats due to the weather which was a bit off - but if we had been communicated this we could have been better prepared. Certainly not good value for money and I would not recommend

  This was an amazing trip. We chose this over an Île aux Cerfs trip because we were staying in the north and wanted to spend as much time on the sea as possible, instead of spending some time travelling across Mauritius by land. We did not regret this choice. The island of Gabriel is very scenic and has one of the most picturesque beaches in Mauritius. The snorkling was great and we got to see lots of colourful fish amidst the coral reefs. The catamaran is comfy and didn't feel crowded even though we were 17 people (including 2 crew members). We got very burnt after a day at sea. I recommend putting on lots of sun block and reapplying at the beaches. If you get sea sick, it is much better to be at the front of the catamaran. At the back you feel the rocking motion between its two hulls more.
